| corynebacterium testudinoris sp. nov., from a tortoise, and corynebacterium felinum sp. nov., from a scottish wild cat. | two unknown gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from a tortoise and a scottish wild cat were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. chemical analysis revealed the presence of straight-chain and monounsaturated fatty acids and short-chain mycolic acids in the two isolates consistent with the genus corynebacterium. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing confirmed that the unknown isolates were members of the genus corynebacterium, with the two organisms displaying greater than 3% sequ ... | 2001 | 11491332 |
| corynebacterium suicordis sp. nov., from pigs. | nineteen strains of gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from pigs were characterized by using biochemical, molecular chemical and molecular genetic methods. two distinct groups of organisms were discerned, based on their colonial morphology, camp (christie-atkins-munch-petersen) reaction and numerical profile by using the api coryne system. the first group (13 strains) gave a doubtful discrimination between corynebacterium striatum and co ... | 2003 | 14657140 |
| corynebacterium atrinae sp. nov., isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a pen shell, atrina pectinata. | a novel gram-stain-positive, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, strain pspt56(t), was isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a pen shell (atrina pectinata). optimal growth of strain pspt56(t) was ascertained to occur at 30 °c, ph 8.0 and in the presence of 1-2 % (w/v) nacl. the strain was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. the major cellular fatty acids were c18 : 1ω9c, c16 : 0, c17 : 1ω8c and c17 : 0. tuberculostearic acid was not present. the major cell-wal ... | 2015 | 25404484 |
| complete genome sequence of the type strain corynebacterium testudinoris dsm 44614, recovered from necrotic lesions in the mouth of a tortoise. | the complete genome sequence of the type strain corynebacterium testudinoris dsm 44614 from the mouth of a tortoise comprises 2,721,226 bp with a mean g+c content of 63.14%. the automatic annotation of the genome sequence revealed 4 rrna operons, 51 trna genes, 7 other rna genes, and 2,561 protein-coding regions. | 2015 | 26227591 |
